Summary: Communication published by the European Commission on 3 May 2022, setting out a renewed strategy for the most remote parts of the European Union (EU), the so-called outermost regions. Further information: The EU outermost regions - Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion and Saint-Martin (France), the Azores and Madeira (Portugal) and the Canary Islands (Spain) - are nine EU regions located in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, in the Caribbean basin and in South America. The constraints to their development are recognised in Article 349 TFEU, which also provides for specific measures to support them, including the tailored application of EU law in these regions and access to EU programmes. This Communication presents the priorities for EU action with and for these regions. It sets out the Commission’s proposed initiatives to mainstream the specificities of the outermost regions across EU legislation and policies, but it also encourages action by the regions themselves and their Member States. The renewed strategy builds on the implementation of the 2017 strategic partnership with these regions, reported by the Commission in March 2020. |
